with some thiiin reynolds 853 steel and since she treated me so good I gave her a new powder coat this past winter. Over the last 2 years I swapped out everything except the seatpost (would like to get a Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost) and cinelli handle bar. I bought her at the end of 2000. If it works don't fix it.

It is refreshing to see a rider use Forte' Axis Pro carbon forks around here too.
Possibly one of the better deals out there for a 352 gram fork.
You diggin yours still?

What's 'odd' is you having BMX pedals on that bike.......get yourself some real pedals. It will make a world of difference in your riding. Believe it and Enjoy!!

I believe what you say that they would make a difference. The bmx pedals are temporary until the wife lets me spend the money for good pedals and shoes. There are some big bills coming up and the frivilous spending has been capped. Oh well, soon enough.

Cool! We have the same bike. Mine has a little bit different set up. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

My setup has morphed over the years.

I added the Flightdeck when I bought the bike.

I went through various seats before settling on the Terry.

I was having some problems with my knees so I went in for fitting. That is when the stock seat post was replaced with the Thomson (no setback).

I used the SPDs that came on the bike for the first season and then I replaced them with the Look pedals. I got the Looks when SuperGo was blowing them out for around $80. They are the PP296.

When I replaced the chain I went with a Shimano DA chain.

When I replaced the brake pads I went with Shimano DA pads.

The rear Bontrager Select wheel developed cracks around the spoke nipples at just shy of 5k miles. I got a good deal on the Aksiums so I replaced both wheels. I had a new Ultegra 12-25 cassette kicking around so I put that on the Aksium instead of the 105 cassette that came on the bike.

2002 Tete de Course

I recently bought a 2002 Tete de Course frame and swapped out parts from another bike to this one. My LBS put on some great Arundel bar tape to match the paint. I've only ridden the bike about 150km so far and have dialled in the fit. I really love the way it handles and you just can't go wrong with full titanium. I didn't have a chance yet to take pics outside but will so soon!

some of them are really nice. Too bad they don't sell them in Belgium. Cause I'm a big fan of Lemond I Have to say. He used to live around the corner of my grandma's house while he was still racing. I love his attidude and I he is the only racinghero that actually dears to question armstrongs reputation. I believe what he says. Why don't people listen to this guy?

Time to Post the Creamsicle

My 05 bone-stock Sarthe- thought I made a huge mistake getting the Double instead of Triple- and could not make it up my hill for first season. After a Winter and Spring of running- made it up hill first crack with one gear left!!!
